Résumé
Les trois termes les plus fréquemment utilisés et qui sont associés à l’interdisciplinarité – multidisciplinarité, interdisciplinarité, transdisciplinarité – constitutent la principale taxinomie pour comprendre les degrés d’interaction et d’intégration entre les disciplines ainsi que les degrés de collaboration au sein des équipes de recherche. Les typologies distinguent également les activités méthodologiques qui visent à améliorer les résultats théoriques à la faveur d’une meilleure compréhension des enjeux épistémologiques. La construction d’un « pont » laisse intactes les approches existantes, alors que la restructuration produit de l’interdisciplinarité et des champs nouveaux. La résolution instrumentale ou opportuniste des problèmes diffère des formes critiques qui interrogent la structure existante de la connaissance et de l’éducation. La transdisciplinarité inclut la quête d’unité de même qu’un nouvel encadrement en vue de comprendre les phénomènes complexes et la recherche trans-sectorielle qui implique les acteurs de la société.

Abstract
The three most widely used terms associated with interdisciplinarity – multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary – constitute a core taxonomy for understanding the degree of interaction and integration among disciplines and the degree of collaboration in teamwork. Typologies further distinguish methodological activities aimed at improving results from theoretical frameworks which are of a more comprehensive or epistemological form. Bridge building leaves existing approaches intact, while restructuration produces new interdisciplines and fields. Instrumental or opportunistic problem solving differs from critical forms that question the existing structure of knowledge and education. Transdisciplinarity encompasses the quest for unity as well as new transcendent frameworks for understanding complex phenomena and trans-sector research involving stakeholders in society.
